4eighty one: Keeping The Skies Safe



Seeing objects dangling from telephone wires is nothing new, especially if you live in an area of high crystal meth trafficking. The same goes for most Los Angeles residents and seeing 4eightyone’s “berds.” Using a plywood cut out, stencils, thick twine and a combo lock, 4eightyone sends his berds sky high, placing them in intersection after intersection across the vast sprawl of Los Angeles. Through my own observations and with some help from friends, here is a list of intersections where berds can currently be found. 3rd and Western, 3rd and Beverly, Melrose and Milton, Melrose and La Cienaga, Franklin and Bronson, Franklin and Higland, Franklin near Beachwood, Wilshire and Sepulveda, National and Overland,Tracy and Hyperion, La Brea and Venice, and 4th and La Brea. Any third grader can flip the bird, but for Venice based 4eightyone, he has got it down to an art.
